1. Those damn republican adults
He's never dropped below 53% with them. The Independent vote however looks promising for us 58% disapproval of the Adios MoFo. Vote him out!

:applause:

3. Analysis Please!
You have been great with the numbers and I really appreciate that. Thank you!

Now how about a little speculation on WHY Good Hair's support is turning down.

Facts are nice, but opinions fire the imagination!

4. I think Perry's numbers fell for 3 main reasons:
1. The Perry Business-Income-Tax plan absolutely threw Texas school children under the bus (by tying all revenues to property tax breaks mainly for big businesses and none for improving education) while it basically gave the mining, utilities, phone companies, conglomerated retail, insurance, finance, and real estate industries about one and a half billion dollars in tax BREAKS which are revenues which will be made up with a small-business income tax (and the new small-business income tax will fall FAR short of replacing the revenue Perry gave away to his corporate super-patrons). This Perry Business-Income-Tax scheme is not really popular with anyone (except the mining, utilities, phone companies, conglomerated retail, insurance, finance, and real estate industries and the whores they employ to do their bidding in Austin).

2. During the ballot petition drives of Kinky and c4n3p, they got a disproportionate amount of press. Both Kinky and c4n3p have nothing good to say about Perry and that drumbeat of media coverage on candidates who despise Perry eventually sinks in.

3. Perry sucks, and you can suppress that fact for only so long before the truth begins to seep out.
